Vino Spiked Spaghetti

I've been making spaghetti for years. Sometimes I do a combination of sausage and beef. I always have some spice, red wine, and fresh or dried herbs from my garden! This is not your typical Italian style because it has peppers, onions, and mushrooms, and you don't have to cook it all day :) Serve it with white or multigrain pasta and fresh grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.

fresh basil (purple or sweet green) or 1 1/2 tbsp. of dried (it is a different flavor)

1/8
c

fresh oregano or 1 tsp. of dried

salt and pepper to taste

1
tsp

white sugar (reduces the acidity of the tomatoes)

1/2
c

red wine

1
box

of pasta, adjust depending on number of people. (you can use the long noodles or sometimes i prefer rigatoni, shells, or spirals. if you want to go the healthy route, try one of the whole grain or wheat versions
